An ultra-Orthodox Jewish member of Israel&#x27;s parliament has resigned after prominent rabbis criticised him for attending his gay nephew&#x27;s wedding. Yigal Guetta revealed in a radio interview on Sunday that he had gone to the ceremony two years ago. He said that although same-sex marriage was against his religious beliefs he had wanted to make his nephew happy. But five rabbis accused Mr Guetta of desecrating God&#x27;s name and demanded that the religious Shas party fire him. Same-sex weddings held in Israel are not sanctioned by the state. However, couples who wed abroad can register officially as married couples.
